SUDDEN DEATH.--On Tuesday last while Mr. Richard Bracken was transacting some business in Ballinamore, he suddenly became indisposed, and after an hour's illness he expired. He was High Constable and Collector for the barony of Glenawly, county Fermanagh, for many years. Deceased was universally esteemed as an honest, upright character. ----- ROBBERY.--On Friday last a woman entered the shop of Mr. Ralph Copeland, and took with her several valuable articles, after which she went to Mr. Kerrin, pawnbroker, who received them from her, and immediately informed Mr. Copeland, and had her detected on the spot. This is a general practice carried on in the town by those idle vagabonds that frequent our shops on fair and market days when they find the shopkeepers in the throng of business. ======================================== This reprint is intended SOLELY for the non-commercial use of family historians, with the sincere hope that a Lister may find the content useful.
